Originally produced for PBS, the American Cinema series examines what is probably the leading American art form: film. Chock-full of clips from important films and interviews with the men and women who made them, each episode is an in-depth look at an important facet of the history of American film. This particular episode examines the technical language of filmmaking. Beyond a cold description of buzzwords, this video offers instruction on some technical aspects of filmmaking, such as how to zoom and edit.
